Description
A large format pie featuring fresh strawberries baked in a pastry crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pie crust recipes worth of dough
- 6 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan.
- Prepare the strawberry filling: In a large bowl, gently combine the sliced strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Let this mixture sit for 15 minutes.
- Roll out half of the pie dough and carefully fit it into the bottom of the prepared jelly roll pan. Trim any excess dough.
- Pour the strawberry filling evenly over the bottom crust. Dot the top of the filling with the small pieces of butter.
- Roll out the remaining pie dough for the top crust. Place it over the filling. Trim the edges and crimp them to seal the top and bottom crusts together. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the top crust lightly with the beaten egg wash.
- Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them loosely with foil.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Cooling time is essential for the filling to set.
Notes
- For a lattice top, cut the top dough into strips and weave them over the filling instead of using a solid top crust.
- If your strawberries are very large, you may want to cut them into quarters instead of slices.
- Serve this pie slightly warm or at room temperature.
